Principle Clinical Psychologist

Principle Clinical Psychologist - Band 8A - 28.5 Hours

We are seeking a neuropsychologist/ clinical psychologist with extensive experience in neuro-rehabilitation, who is passionate about excellent patient care and promoting psychological understandings and support in interdisciplinary settings.

A successful applicant would lead and deliver psychological provision within the Community Neuro-rehabilitation service here in Stockport NHS Trust, an integrated community stroke and neuro-rehabilitation team. The post-holder will enjoy a broad and stimulating range of clinical work, both directly with service users and their carers/families and indirectly through consultation, training, clinical leadership and service development. Given the breadth of the service, an excellent range of neuro-rehabilitation experience will be available (including acquired brain injuries, progressive and degenerative conditions and functional neurological disorders), with specialist external supervision provided from a qualified clinical neuropsychologist.

This is a really friendly and welcoming multidisciplinary team, where psychology input is very well established and appreciated, and good links are in place to local mental health and third sector organisations. There are many opportunities to shape and develop local services and pathways, to contribute to DClinPsy training, and get involved with regional networks and initiatives.
